Is Xcode 4.3.1 (and therefore lion) required to develop apps for the iPad 3’s retina display?
Or is there a way to develop for the new device using Xcode 4.2? I’m not running lion yet.

If you are asking about iOS the iOS 5.1 sdk, then you will have to update to Lion and Xcode 4.3.1 to get it.
But as to the Retina display of the iPad 3, there is nothing special about it in the new sdk. So you can develop apps for the iPad 3 using Xcode 4.2. Just make sure you take into account the high resolution of the device when working with images and other graphics as you do with the iPhone Retina Display.
